Synopsis

On the eve of CyberVille's completion, Rebecca Madison strikes against Sean One in Space, causing chaos to envelop Metropia.

To annihilate the rebels threatening her plans, Rebecca Madison destroys the space station Dykstra Platform, killing thousands of "Stringers" (see Episode 9). In retribution, the Stringers (who want independence from Earth) detonate bombs in Metropia, causing massive destruction and nearly killing Sagan Cruz. The Phantom is deeply saddened fearing that Sagan will die.

As Rebecca completes the construction of CyberVille, she prepares to download the brain of her deceased husband as the "operating system" of the building. The Phantom sabotages her plan, and succeeds in destroying the command center of CyberVille. In the meantime, changes sweep Metropia: Max Jr. is appointed head of Rebecca's security; VainGloria is freed from Rebecca's powers, and Graft makes plans to usurp Rebecca's control of Maximum, Inc.
